was thinking more about this… “I’m moving from SF to Las Vegas. This will help my casino” “i’m moving from Boston to SF. This will help my b2b saas app.” one day in the future, blockchains might be akin to backends (polymarket might already be there). Today, the culture and community on top of these internet nation-states are meaningfully differentiated and, for some opportunities, it matters. Block space isnt fungible

Polymarket is 1 of the 2 break out crypto apps of 2024 and it's on a dead chain. Proves my point that good apps are upstream of infrastructure.

it’s not obvious to me polymarket is generalizable to *every* app (suspect there is some kind of local/global app divide, much like services vs manufacturing) also polymarket was dead for 3y before breaking out. could they have shortened that (significantly) by switching chains? maybe, we’ll never know

FWIW, Polygon was the only chain Polymarket could launch on to deliver the UX it was capable of delivering in 2020, which stood way apart from other crypto apps at the time. They apparently approached Optimism but OP mainnet hadn't launched yet.

the other, pump fun is downstream of solana. Wouldn’t have worked on base. So perhaps that also disproves your point

What's a dead chain? its on an L2 like other 100s of L2. Do they have to spend millions on programs from which not a single app stands out? I think it's the actual winner. That brought outstanding Apps. isn't that the whole point?

I was thinking on this the other day.. this shows that the success of any chain depends on the apps being built on it..
